"Career" Points out of Confusion, "Courage" Creates Future -- A Discussion on the Career Development of Public Administration Students in the New Era

Updated:2022-10-29

Job-hopping, entrepreneurship, or maintaining the status quo, which one to choose?

Facing opportunities, should we "rapid trial and error to reduce costs", or "stable and steady fight against risk"?

Presumably, these are issues that everyone at work encounters. With the fragrant peach and plum trees by the bank of Huangpu River and the orchids and jade trees at the Fuxing garden, the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology has gone through 116 extraordinary years. On the occasion of the anniversary, in order to strengthen the interaction between the university and its alumni, and between the alumni and their younger fellow students, and to promote the development of the alumni ecosystem, the Department of Public Management of the Business School has successively invited senior alumni from different industries and backgrounds to talk about "these things" in career development. The purpose is to actively enhance the value of the alumni platform, make full use of the superior school resources and alumni ecosystem, and provide career planning guidance for students in school.

People of different ages in this era have very different ideas. If you want to follow the tide of the time, you must constantly learn new things and follow the trend of the time.

Q2 Three suggestions for younger students

First, be a long-term activist. Do a profound and solid job. Do not change jobs frequently but stick to the same platform, you will gain more. Second, we should persist in learning.

Q1 What younger students must know at the beginning of the career

The "five insurances and one fund" is the guarantee and important reference standard for everyone's work. All students must learn how to convert. You can refer to the five insurances and one fund in each province and city and the after-tax salary calculator to calculate, so as to know whether the salary by the company is reasonable. Secondly, we must see clearly the term of the labor contract, which is related to the length of your internship. We should pay more attention to this information to ensure our own benefit.

Q2 Resume Screening Interface

As a senior HR of the company, Mr. Gu showed us the resume screening interface for HR recruitment, thus giving some suggestions on how to write resumes.
